Reputation mod: ( local pvp officer with a local vendor\token reward system )
To create an npc reputation officer, at major map locations. This officer facilitates Alert map pvp/pve queues between maps. Participating players would recieve alerts , when a local alert was ready to be played, much like the red alerts in new romulus this would queue players from different maps, and factions.
- npc reputation officer can go in any current map location
- npc reputation officer indicates that this location has entry to a local alert map (dynamic alert).
- npc reputation officer manages Alert pvp queues.
- Player's queue for "Alert " missions via the NPC reputation officer
- NPC Reputation officer queues attackers against queued defenders in other maps
- NPC Reputation officer gives rewards for red alert participation with local reward tokens ( non transferable )
- Local reward tokens give access to, local low price vendors, local special vendors , local special item collection zones (dilithium farm), access to special exploration zones, access local lore (trivia), and local story missions.
** originally I was thinking of an invisible rating system connected to reputation. Giving officers bonuses for the area's they play in the most, however that seems more complex to implement with this game engine**
Red Alert Mod: (local pvp raid and defense system)
Red Alerts, that connect participating players from different maps and factions with a
location and faction relevant pve/pvp combat scenario.
- red alert instances that players can create\queue for via an reputation officer
- mostly pve missions with pvp support on both sides.
- npc reputation officers in each map connected to the pvp queues
* sending attacking players to maps where the defenders are queued
- red alert maps and scenarios should be localized to reflect the regions of space they represent.
- needed: new scenarios, maps, random enemies
- extended alerts that are multi map, multi stage epic battles
- the defending team, usually determines the map location.
- Active alerts are represented on a map with a with the Red Alert warning tab or combat graphic , so other players can join in the active defense or attack.
Rewards
- Attackers and defenders both receive local reputation tokens from the place they initiated their queue.
- winning defenders get the most.
Yellow\blue alert mod:
These Alerts are more pve/pvp co-op based missions. The main focus on sci-fi , trade ,diplomatic, trade, commodity, disaster relief style alerts. Combat may be a secondary part to these scenarios
- Global random Alerts: ( blue\yellow alerts ).
- Events\disasters That need a player or team presence.

- any faction can join the map,
- players could co-op , ? or attacking each other ?
- events type Main foucs geologic, astronomic ,medical,cultural,political,anomalies, discoveries, or trade
shotages\surpluses.

* not sure if these alerts should be co-op only or not

When lord, whens gonna be the KDF's time ?
I.R.W. Raptor's Claw
Storm Eagle Class Warbird Fleet Ha'feh
I have never trusted humans, and I never will
Once a reputatioin officer is on a map players can create red alert attack missions ,or defend against red alert attacks.
remember these red alerts are , pve / pvp missions,
klingons could finally start raiding federation worlds !!! yar
2.) The alert mod and reputation officer are about creating a randomized, and optional, pve/pvp scenario that can be played ,versus or co-op. The scenario's are meant to enhance the star trek feel, especially the yellow and blue alerts. The goal also, is to feel like the alerts are generated by the players local area.
- Reward tokens at the end would be a bonus, nothing more.. the local area recognizing your efforts and giving you a discount, or local favor for your efforts
thanks
